3 TOP-QUALITY HIGH-QUALITY HAY IN A SILAGE PACKAGE THAT S AND RIGHT LOTS FOR OF YOU IT For high-capacity haylage production, choose the FHX300 with a or 92-in. (1.94 or 2.34 m) tine-to-tine windrow pickup. Rows and rows of curved tines gently gather every bit of the windrow even short or fine hay. For a forage blower that can keep up with the FHX300 and your wagons and trucks, choose the Case IH 600 forage blower. It fills extra-tall silos fast to increase your productivity. Features include an auger-fed design and a 60-in. (1524 mm) diameter blower fan. 3

4 TOP-CAPACITY HARVESTING Discover the productivity advantages of the new Case IH FHX300 forage harvester. This highcapacity harvester makes fast work of your corn and hay acres, and quickly turns your forage crops into high-quality silage. Heavy-duty design. The FHX300 was expressly designed for use with high-horsepower tractors those from 180 to 300 horsepower. The wide, 24.4 in. (620 mm) throat opening swallows your heaviest crops, while the 1000-rpm driveline, heavy-duty components and wide crop heads are made to harness big-tractor horsepower and turn it into high-capacity harvesting performance. You control FHX300 operations right from your tractor seat using electric remote controls for spout, feedrolls, crop heads and standard hydraulic tongue swing. Precision crop cutting. Crop flows smoothly from the moment it enters the crop head. Three crop heads are available (see pages 8 and 9 for details). All three capture every bit of the crop you grow and guide it to the feedrolls. The feedrolls move material smoothly and evenly into the rugged 12-knife cutterhead for clean, uniform cutting action. This uniform length of cut leads to better silo loading, packing and unloading. 4

5 FHX300 PULL-TYPE FORAGE HARVESTER Precision crop cutting. Crop flows smoothly from the moment it enters the crop head. Three crop heads are available (see pages 8 and 9 for details). All three capture every bit of the crop you grow and guide it to the feedrolls. The feedrolls move material smoothly and evenly into the rugged 12-knife cutterhead for clean, uniform cutting action. This uniform length of cut leads to better silo loading, packing and unloading. Most importantly, a uniform chop is the key to optimum feed value, maximum milk production and herd performance. The FHX300 allows you to adjust to your precise needs by providing a wide selection of cutting lengths. You control length of cut by changing feedroll speed, adding or removing knives, or by using one of five optional recutter screens. With all 12 knives, you can achieve a length of cut from 3 16 in. to 7 16 in. (5 to 11.1 mm). With 4 knives selected, you can achieve a cut length as long as in. (33.3 mm). Whether you re working in wet, heavy hay, or an easy-to-blow crop like corn, the 1000-rpm blower moves crop quickly to fill wagons and trucks fast. Convenient adjustments. Keeping the FHX300 operating at peak efficiency is a simple proposition. Lightweight, hinged shielding lifts easily for fast inspection, adjustment and lubrication of internal components. A built-in knife sharpener makes it easier than ever to sharpen knives no tools needed. The shearbar is also easy to adjust. The unique flip-up action of the feedrolls makes routine inspection and maintenance hassle-free. There s much more to tell! Get a closer look at the FHX300 and learn the full story at your Case IH dealer. At the heart of the Case IH Model FHX300 is this 21-in.-diameter, 12-knife cutterhead. Hardened alloy knives span the full width of the cutterhead and chop evenly and efficiently, converting your crop into high-quality feed. In minutes, you can sharpen knives for uniform cutting and top fuel efficiency. A large, 3-in.- diameter sharpening ratchet-advanced stone passes over the length of the knives for an evenly sharpened cutterhead. If you encounter extremely heavy material, an electric clutch allows you to control the reversing gearbox to easily unplug the head without leaving your tractor seat. The Case IH feedrolls lift up for easy cleaning and inspection of the shearbar and smooth roll scraper. There s no need to take the feedrolls out of the machine, and no need to remove the crophead to lift the upper feedroll. 5

6 ONBOARD CROP PROCESSOR IMPROVES FEED QUALITY To maximize feed quality in corn silage, equip your FHX300 with the optional onboard crop processor. It saves you time and cost by chopping and processing in one operation. Crop coming from the cutterhead is propelled between two 8 in. (203 mm) diameter fluted rolls. The top roll turns 15% faster than the bottom roll, providing the scuffing action necessary to crack kernels and break up cob pieces. This results in better fermentation and more effective fiber. In short, you get feed that s easier for your livestock to digest, improving your feed efficiency and increasing milk production. The gap between the feedrolls can be adjusted from 3 32" (2.38 mm) to 5 8" (15.9 mm), depending on crop volume. And because both feedrolls are segmented, if damage occurs, the damaged section can be replaced without changing the entire roll. The optional onboard crop processor is located behind the cutterhead. Chopped material passes directly to it from the cutterhead, minimizing the chance of plugging. For chopping haylage, the processor is easily bypassed by simply removing one baffle and the drive belt. 6

7 FHX300 PULL-TYPE FORAGE HARVESTER AVOID CUTTERHEAD DAMAGE AND HARDWARE DISEASE If your forage harvester picks up stray metal, you run the risk of expensive cutterhead damage or illness/injury in your herd. The Case IH metal detector in the FHX300 protects your investment, your livestock and your peace of mind. The Case IH metal detector stops the feedrolls within a fraction of a second before metal can damage the cutterhead, and before it can get into your livestock feed and cause deadly hardware disease. The front lower feedroll houses a sensor and electromagnet that emits a constant magnetic field between the two stainless steel lower feedrolls. When metal enters the feedrolls, a signal is sent to the solenoid on the reversing gearbox output drive, which stops the feedrolls. It also shuts off power to an electric clutch on the reversing gearbox, which shifts to neutral and stops power to the feedroll drive. Ask your Case IH dealer to tell you more. A light and horn alert you when metal is detected. Just use the feedroll control switch to back the material out of the feedrolls. After the metal has been removed, the metal detector resets automatically. 7

8 NEW CROP HEADS CAPTURE EVERYTHING YOU GROW Case IH crop heads provide ground-hugging performance, so you re sure to gather all the crop you grow. All three models match the exceptional capacity of the FHX300, and all are designed for low maintenance, easy hookup and removal. Model HDX3R 3-row corn head. This head efficiently gathers corn stalks planted on 28 to 32-in. (711 to 813 mm) row spacing. The points float over ground contours and skid shoes are adjustable to eliminate bulldozing. The gathering chains reach forward to grasp corn stalks before they re cut and feed them smoothly into the feedrolls. See your Case IH dealer for full details on these highly efficient crop heads. Models HDX10P 76- and HDX20P 92- inch windrow pickups. Both Case IH windrow pickups use closely spaced pickup tines that flex to gather all of your crop. The open end pulls in wide or windblown windrows. The floating auger handles heavy crop conditions and feeds crop smoothly, even in varying conditions. In case of overload, the auger reverses with the feedrolls to easily clear plugs. Case IH windrow pickups hug the ground to gather all the crop you grow. The heavy-duty gauge wheels handle rough ground and help the pickup rise over swells and into dips without gouging. Two models are available, measuring 76.5 and 92 inches (1.94 and 2.34 m) tine to tine. 8 The Case IH 3-row corn head grabs every stalk you grow, even in lodged crop conditions. The cutting discs shear corn close to the ground and are spring-loaded, allowing them to move out of the way when they encounter an obstacle.
